RegiStax 6 vs. 5 comparison - Jupiter Celestron 4SE

Here is an example of the difference between Registax v5 and v6 for Jupiter (Jupiter with Ganymede Moon and Ganymede Shadow Transit, September 18, 2010 - Celestron 4SE)

Registax v6 - Wavelet - Gaussian Initial Layer 3 Used Linked Wavelets with denoise 1 and 2 layers, RGB shift
Registax 6, Celestron 4SE, Jupiter
Registax 5, Celestron 4SE, Jupiter
Some clouds are more visible in Registax v6, the shadow and Ganymede moon looks better. So my opinion Registax 6 gives better result with Used Linked Wavelets.

RegiStax 6 - Astrophotography Saturn - Testing new version v6



RegiStax 6 release 2 April 2011
Just downloaded the new version and tested it.
Installation was very simple and no problem for Vista. Interface is simpler and more intuitive.
I had some problem with multi alignment in version 5. In RegiStax 6 it works as magic -- no issue. New function - Linked Wavelet Layers -- is great! Speed fantastic. This is major improvements which allow make more experimental settings and find best parameters for final image.

Thanks for RegiStax all people who created, develop and support it! It's amazing free product!

For Saturn observation I used Celestron 4Se telescope, Barlow 2x, NexImage.
Hope it video helps and gives you ideas what you can do with Registax.

Time-lapse Sunset in Manuel Antonio, Costa Rica

Here is two time lapses I've made in Manuel Antonio, Costa Rica (hotel Costa Verde).
Time-lapse sunset and time-lapse sky stars - Orion Constellation (with sky clouds). Taken in January 2011.
Hope You Enjoy them :)
